US market underperforming?!
Who wants to invest (I didn't say trade) in a market/country where the government, corporations and its consumers are in debt up the gazoo and their only hope is to inflate the crap out of their houses, markets, property and everything else in the hopes it'll make their debts appear smaller and a currency that's depreciating daily?

I'd take my money and run elsewhere too.

So what if the other markets 'correct'? US is dead wood in terms of investing. #1 still for trading but investment funds are going elsewhere which means market goes *nowhere*. Any "gains" are a mirage and bound to rapidly evaporate.

lol. Thats a keeper of a quote.
Chinese stock market is basically a rigged market where outsiders can't buy in and the govt controls the float. The Chinese are creating a mess by manipulating their currency and the stock market. Think Japan circa 1980's.
